MSR90 USB Swipe Magnetic Credit Card Reader 3 Tracks Mini Smart Card Reader MSR605 MSR606 Deftun

This works perfectly. Not much to it. I had no problems using it as a swiper for meetings for an organization where I am the secretary and have to swipe member cards. Hasn’t failed me yet.

This is a simple product that does exactly what is claimed. The info on the magstripe of a swiped card is entered into your computer exactly as though you typed it on the keyboard. It works out of the box with nothing special needed. If you were entering information based on this, you would need to make sure the computer is ready to accept the numbers before you swipe the card... such as positioning the cursor in the credit card number box on the screen.By default it sends all of the track data at once with a prefix and suffix for each so a program could tell which one is which. There's a small piece of windows-based configuration software that's optionally used to config which tracks to send and whether or not to use a prefix/suffix.Note that you would not be able to get it to send just the card number, or just the name on the card unless the card is encoded that way. Typically a card will have multiple bits of information on the same track. Most payment systems that allow one to use a card reader would know to expect the info in this format (which is a standard) and is not exactly as though you'd type it by hand reading from the front of the card. All that to say, you're not going to be able to use this to swipe your card and fill out the checkout form on a typical online store. But if you're using it for a payment system for a business and the payment system works with a card reader, then this will very likely "just work" with no special settings or anything.I gave it a slightly lower rating for accuracy in that if you are not careful about how you swipe, you'll only get track 1 data even if track 3 is present. But if you're careful to insert the card flat when swiping it gets it just fine. It either works or doesn't and doesn't send partial tracks or incorrect info.

Simple and effective, works as a USB keyboard device. Reliably reads cards and can be used in many applications.

Bought this to swipe driver's license into a school database system, but it will NOT read driver's licenses. It WILL read credit cards, but absolutely does not work with my Wisconsin license. So disappointed. I have a scanner that works just fine, but his does not work..There is some configuration software which I downloaded, but absolutely no Instructions on how to use it or set it up. Very disappointed!

Works as intended. Small, lightweight design. Effortless plug and play via USB. We use these for software access on office computers, everybody has a mag strip card that is their “password”. Didn’t come with any method of mounting. Purchased double sided tape and worked well.

Works perfectly!

Simple to use and decent value. Does exactly what I need it to.

This card reader works perfectly for why I bought it. I'm the Secretary of a non-profit organization. Members of the organization have membership cards with a magnetic strip that they need to swipe when checking into a meeting or other event where attendance is counted.It reads our membership cards perfectly.
